2018 Chateau Malartic Lagraviere, Pessac-Leognan malbec The 2019 Castello Banfi PoggioThe 2018 Chteau Malartic Lagravire is a highly rated Pessac Lognan wine praised for its opulent, dark fruit flavors (cassis, plum, cherry), rich body, complex notes of licorice, smoke, and herbs, and a long, savory finish supported by firm, grainy, or silky tannins and good acidity. It is a structured, masculine wine with significant aging potential but can be enjoyed now with decanting. 96 POINTS WINE ENTHUSIAST
